Military Appreciation Award
An Honorable Sacrifice — Giving Back to Those Who Serve US




On April 24, 2012, SSG (Army) Christopher Walker
was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED), also
known as a roadside bomb.

The explosion did extensive damage to his face and
Christopher lost both his arms and his entire left leg.


He was thrown 30 feet by a blast that was designed to take out armored vehicles.


Tiana Staub, who nominated Christopher for this grant, says, "Chris is one of the happiest people I have ever met,even after this accident. He is still the same guy that I fell in love with." Tiana would like Christopher to have the opportunity to see the world and give people the opportunity to meet Christopher.

"Christopher makes an impact on everyone he meets. They say they are inpsired by his outlook on life and how thanksful he is just to have a second chance at living."

Bodybuilding.com and BSN will be
presenting Christopher with a
$10,000 travel voucher, $5,000 cash and
a $5,000 donation to the military charity
of his choice (Wounded EOD Warrior Foundation)!






Congratulations also to Jason & Dan

It doesn't stop there! Bodybuilding.com would also like to thank and recognize the other two featured Military Appreciation Award nominees. We will be awarding them the following:

Jason (MARINE CORPs) & Erin —
$5,000 travel voucher toward a trip to Hawaii
where they plan to renew their vows!

Dan (ARMY) & MEGAN (ARMY) —
$5,000 cash to assist with wedding expenses!

Thank you to all who registered and more importantly, to all of you who serve our country in the U.S. Military!

hey man hate to bring negative energy on this site im usually all about being positive, but im currently an active duty soldier about a month away from finishing my deployment and early into it i hurt my back pretty badly and alot of people have gotten injured out here but you make us look bad by going around saying "im a vet please help me" and begging for handouts. if you were a soldier you know there are no excuses, do what you need to do to get your life back on track, begging people to give you it for free is not the way to go

Thank you BodyBuilding.com you guys rock for this! I don't envy the stories you are going to have to read through but be sure to vet out the crap looking for a handout. There are plenty of people out there who are in need and have been forgotten by their government and could use a strike of luck by winning something like this (even though we don't know what it is). I know you all will make a good decision. I challenge people to also look at vets from all wars and not just the current one. Thanks again!

I was there when they brought Chris if from the battlefield. It is amazing to see how far he has traveled since that day. His progress and success are a testament to him as a Soldier, Father and as an EOD Warrior---what a stud who has amazing heart--- richly deserved.....
